SMARTER TOWNHOUSE DESIGN

ECOTECH’s has collaborated with leading NZ architects, Young + Richards to create a stylish and modern 2-level townhouse design that seamlessly blends function with beauty. The 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom floor plans offers 110m2 of open plan living that leads on a 9m2 exterior deck. 

The Townhouses are marketed under the brand Building our World änd incorporate the latest innovations in design and modular construction.

There are two floor options available based on the orientation of the site.  We also offer an option to upgrade to pitched roof with architectural raked internal ceilings

BIG BOX TECHNOLOGY

Two 12.2.m wide x 4.5m long x 2.9m high modules are bought together, with the top module offset to create a generous 2m deep deck at the front or rear of the home. The townhouses can be combined in a duplex or terraced configuration.

The simplicity of the 2-box design means that in most instances, installation of the townhouses on to the prepared foundations will be completed in hours, with connection to services (such as power, water and sewers) able to completed in under a week. Clip on facade elements, such as the window surrounds and fire rated balcony separators, are supplied with the modules and are designed for easy installation.

CLEVER THINKING

The Building our World townhouses integrate new technologies and clever think to create a design that is both affordable and packed full of features.

This 110m2 plan with upper floor living allows all day sun to stream deeply into the home for homes on north orientated site. Expansive  2.4m x 4m sliding doors & windows open on to an elevated front deck, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living.
